It seems there’s a way to evaluate every aspect of your life around this time of year, along with societal pressure to do so. ![Picture of Christina Lavingia](https://blog.payjunction.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Christina%20Lavingia%2c%20Content%20Marketing%20Manager.jpg?width=48&height=48&name=Christina%20Lavingia%2c%20Content%20Marketing%20Manager.jpg) Christina Lavingia 1/3/2019 READ MORE](https://blog.payjunction.com/how-to-have-a-successful-year)
- ## [![What Is ISO Credit Card Processing?](https://blog.payjunction.com/hubfs/BLOG/FEATURED%20IMAGES/iso-credit-card-processing.svg) What Is ISO Credit Card Processing? Independent sales organizations (ISOs) are companies that manage the sales and marketing of credit card processing products and services. Unlike Payment Facilitators, which provide one shared merchant account to all of their customers, ISOs underwrite each business they work with to provide them with an individual merchant account. ISOs are synonymous with Merchant Service Providers. ![Picture of Christina Lavingia](https://blog.payjunction.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Christina%20Lavingia%2c%20Content%20Marketing%20Manager.jpg?width=48&height=48&name=Christina%20Lavingia%2c%20Content%20Marketing%20Manager.jpg) Christina Lavingia 11/20/2018 READ MORE](https://blog.payjunction.com/iso-credit-card-processing)

- ## [![Why You Should Ditch Your Credit Card Processing Authorization Form](https://blog.payjunction.com/hubfs/BLOG/FEATURED%20IMAGES/credit-card-processing-authorization-form.svg) Why You Should Ditch Your Credit Card Processing Authorization Form If you’ve been in business for long (or have been a patron at an old-school establishment), you’re likely all too familiar with the dreaded credit card processing authorization form. We say “dreaded” because these forms pose a number of issues for business owners that range from cumbersome to dangerous. ![Picture of Christina Lavingia](https://blog.payjunction.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Christina%20Lavingia%2c%20Content%20Marketing%20Manager.jpg?width=48&height=48&name=Christina%20Lavingia%2c%20Content%20Marketing%20Manager.jpg) Christina Lavingia 11/1/2018 READ MORE](https://blog.payjunction.com/credit-card-processing-authorization-form)
- ## [![How Swiping an EMV Card Cost One Business $5,368](https://blog.payjunction.com/hubfs/BLOG/FEATURED%20IMAGES/emv-chargeback-case-study.svg) How Swiping an EMV Card Cost One Business $5,368 The 2015 liability shift transferred the financial responsibility for chargebacks resulting from incorrectly processed EMV transactions away from the card brands and onto businesses. Although this shift occurred a few years ago, many businesses still use non-certified EMV terminals or rely on outdated swipers due to cost constraints, antiquated providers and lack of pressure to adopt new technology. ![Picture of Christina Lavingia](https://blog.payjunction.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Christina%20Lavingia%2c%20Content%20Marketing%20Manager.jpg?width=48&height=48&name=Christina%20Lavingia%2c%20Content%20Marketing%20Manager.jpg) Christina Lavingia 10/2/2018 READ MORE](https://blog.payjunction.com/emv-chargeback-case-study)
